Wednesday, November 4, 2020, 7:00 AM - Thursday, November 5, 2020, 4:30 PM, Virtual event, N/A, VA

The 2020 FOCUS Pediatric and Neonatal Care Conference is the premier event in Central Virginia for health care professionals that care for children to come together and share their passion for the health of all children.

We have been closely monitoring the development of COVID-19 in our community and throughout the United States. In order to safeguard the health and well-being of our learners, faculty, staff and communities, we have made the decision to change the format of the 2020 FOCUS Pediatric and Neonatal Care Conference to an online virtual event this year. No live in-person sessions will be held at the Westin Hotel.

With the increased risk of exposure to COVID-19, containment measures, travel restrictions, and the need for health care providers to be in their facilities and in their communities, this change of format is necessary.

1. Describe the importance of medication management for PPHN and Pulmonary HTN, ADD/ADHD, Nephrotic Syndrome, Asthma, and Diabetes.
2. Explain the importance of therapeutic drug monitoring in the pediatric patient.
3. Discuss how to promote breast feeding in a medically fragile child.
4. Describe the impact of the coronavirus crisis to public health and safety needs for the neonatal and pediatric patients in the community.
5. Differentiate the population specific care considerations of the neonatal, pediatric critical care, and pediatric acute care patients.
6. Recognize contributions each team member makes to the care of neonatal and pediatric patients
